The source said surveillance videos show that at no time on the 15th were any people children in the store who match the description of Victoria Wilcher or [her grandmother, Kelly] Mullins. The tapes were viewed in both the Meadowbrook and Woodrow Wilson KFC locations in Jackson, the source said. In hours of tape, the source said one small boy with his parents is seen, but they order food and leave the store.

(The pit bull attack on Victoria Wilcher was reported publicly well before the KFC incident, and there has been no suggestion that she was not in fact injured.)

A KFC source also told the Clarion-Ledger that the family's account was implausible because restaurant employees were accustomed to serving injured and sick customers, citing past examples of patrons who had been "shot in the face" or had "tubes and wire sticking out."
